3 Overview Adafruit Industries Page 3 of 34

4 Trellis is an open source backlight keypad driver system. It is easy to use, works with any 3mm LEDs and eight tiles can be tiled together on a shared I2C bus. Adafruit Industries Page 4 of 34

5 The Trellis PCB is specially made to match the Adafruit 4x4 elastomer keypad. Each Trellis PCB has 4x4 pads and 4x4 matching spots for 3mm LEDs. The circuitry on-board handles the background key-presses and LED lighting for the 4x4 tile. However, it does not have any microcontroller or other 'brains' - an Arduino (or similar microcontroller) is required to control the Trellis to read the keypress data and let it know when to light up LEDs as desired. Adafruit Industries Page 5 of 34

6 Each tile has an I2C-controlled LED sequencer and keypad reader already on it. The chip can control all 16 LEDs individually, turning them on or off. It cannot do grayscale or dimming. The same chip also reads any keypresses made with the rubber keypad. The connections are 'diode multiplexed' so you do not have to worry about "ghosting" when pressing multiple keys, each key is uniquely addressed. Adafruit Industries Page 6 of 34

7 The tiles have 3 address jumpers. You can tile up to 8 PCBs together (for a total of 4x32 or 16x8=128 buttons/leds) on a single I2C bus, as long as each one has a unique address. All the tiles connect by the edges with solder, and share the same power, ground, interrupt, and i2c clock/data pins. So, you can easily set up to 128 LEDs and read up to 128 buttons using only 2 I2C wires! The tiles can be arranged in any configuration they want as long as each tile is connected to another with the 5 edge-fingers. Adafruit Industries Page 7 of 34

8 Each LED is multiplexed with a constant-current driver, so you can mix and match any colors you like. You don't need it to be all blue, all red, etc. Mix it up! Any 3mm LED can be used, although we find that diffused LEDs with 250mcd+ brightness look best. Adafruit Industries Page 8 of 34

9 Adding LEDs The Trellis PCB comes with all the driver circuitry but doesn't come with LEDs installed! This is because we know people want to get creative with the LED colors - choose any color you like! Diffused 3mm LEDs with 250mcd+ brightness look best. As you can see here, the LEDs sit inside the button cavity and the two button contacts surround it. This allows for the nice frosted LED effect. The LEDs are seperately controlled from the buttons - an Arduino or similar is required to read data from the buttons and then write out what LEDs to light up. Adafruit Industries Page 9 of 34

10 LEDs have polarity so they have to be installed the right way or they won't work! There's a little + symbol on the left hand LED pads, thats the anode/positive pin. LEDs have a longer leg on the + pin so make sure that pin goes into the + hole. Adafruit Industries Page 10 of 34

11 You can do one LED at a time, or all at once, its up to you and how experienced you are in soldering LEDs. Bend the LED legs out so that the LEDs sit nice and flat against the PCB. Flip over the PCB so you can solder them in Adafruit Industries Page 11 of 34

12 Solder each and every LED leg. I like to do one LED at a time. Adafruit Industries Page 12 of 34

13 Clip the legs about 2-3mm from the PCB so the leads aren't flying everywhere Adafruit Industries Page 13 of 34

14 Keep soldering! Adafruit Industries Page 14 of 34

15 Till you are done with all of them Adafruit Industries Page 15 of 34

16 Connecting As shown here, Trellis is just an LED/keypad controller. You still need an Arduino or similar to do the work of reading the keypad data and then signifying when to light LEDs. Luckily, we wrote a library that handles all the hard work for you, making it all very easy! Download the Trellis Arduino library from our github repository ( by clicking this shiny button Download Trellis Arduino library Rename the uncompressed folder Adafruit_Trellis. Check that the Adafruit_Trellis folder contains Adafruit_Trellis.cpp and Adafruit_Trellis.h, and an examples folder Place the Adafruit_Trellis library folder your sketchbookfolder/libraries/ folder. You may Adafruit Industries Page 16 of 34

17 need to create the libraries subfolder if its your first library. Restart the IDE. You can figure out your sketchbookfolder by opening up the Preferences tab in the Arduino IDE. If you're not familiar with installing Arduino libraries, please visit our tutorial: All About Arduino Libraries ( Next we will connect up the PCBs, we soldered solid-core wires from the 5 connection fingers and plug them into an Arduino. We suggest starting with an Uno since its guaranteed to work Connect the wires: 5V goes to the 5V power pin on the Arduino GND goes to and GND ground pin SCL goes to the I2C clock pin, on an Uno this is also known as A5 SDA goes to the I2C data pin, on an Uno this is also known as A4 We connect the INT interrupt pin to A2 - this pin isn't used in our demo code so you can leave it unconnected if you wish. Adafruit Industries Page 17 of 34

18 Now open up the Arduino IDE and open up the File->Examples->Adafruit_Trellis- >TrellisTest example sketch and upload it to your Arduino This sketch tests a single tile, with the default 0x70 address. It will light up all the LEDs in order and then turn them off. Then you can place the elastomer on top & press buttons to toggle buttons Library reference The trellis example sketch shows you just about everything you can do with the Trellis library. Creating the objects Each panel has its own named object called an Adafruit_Trellis, created like this: Adafruit_Trellis matrix = Adafruit_Trellis(); when you have many Adafruit_Trellis objects, we suggest creating a TrellisSet which will read all the buttons at once, write all the LEDs at once, etc. Each TrellisSet is given the names of the Adafruit_Trellis objects you created, up to 8. Adafruit_TrellisSet trellis = Adafruit_TrellisSet(&matrix0, &matrix1, &matrix2, &matrix3); When you call begin to start the Adafruit_TrellisSet object, pass in the addresses that correspond to your PCBs (see the next page on how to set addresses). The addresses range from 0x70 to 0x77 trellis.begin(0x70, 0x71, 0x72, 0x73); // or four! Controlling LEDs You can set or clear LEDs with trellis.setled(n) and trellis.clrled(n) where n is the LED # from 0 to (number of Trellis')*16-1. So if you have 4 Trellis's in a set, thats 0 to 63 You can only turn LEDs on or off, there is no grayscale or PWM on this chip When you are done setting and clearing LEDs you must call writedisplay() to send the data to all the boards: trellis.writedisplay() will write all Trellis PCBs in the set at once Adafruit Industries Page 18 of 34

19 You can also test if an LED is lit with trellis.isled(n) - will return true if the LED is lit, and false if it isn't Reading Switches You can read buttons by calling trellis.readswitches() It will return true if there has been any change in switches since the last time you called readswitches(). So if some buttons were pressed and now aren't or vice versa, it will return true. If nothing's changed, it will return false Once you've read the switches, you can query the TrellisSet about them. If you'd like to know if a key #k (k is 0..(number of Trellis')*16-1) is currently pressed, call iskeypressed(k) If you want to know if there was a change in the button, you can ask if it's been pressed or released since the last call to readswitches() trellis.justreleased(k) trellis.justpressed(k) Adding support for more tiles You can tile up to 8 Trellis PCBs together (see the next page for the mechanical connections of doing so) Make sure each Trellis has a unique address ID! Open up the TrellisTest sketch and change the following Make more objects Adafruit Industries Page 19 of 34

20 After Adafruit_Trellis matrix0 = Adafruit_Trellis(); add as many matrices as you like, each with a unique name, e.g. Adafruit_Trellis matrix1 = Adafruit_Trellis(); Adafruit_Trellis matrix2 = Adafruit_Trellis(); etc... Make a bigger set Next we will make a set of matrices. Instead of Adafruit_TrellisSet trellis = Adafruit_TrellisSet(&matrix0); update it to add up to 8 matrix names you defined. For example, 4 panels looks like: Adafruit_TrellisSet trellis = Adafruit_TrellisSet(&matrix0, &matrix1, &matrix2, &matrix3); Say the number Change this number from 1 to whatever # you are addressing // set to however many you're working with here, up to 8 #define NUMTRELLIS 1 Begin again Change the begin() call to add more addresses. Originally we only have the default 0x70 address: trellis.begin(0x70); // only one Change this to add all the addresses you are using: trellis.begin(0x70, 0x71, 0x72, 0x73); // four! That's it! Now your TrellisSet will know and control up to 8 panels. Adafruit Industries Page 20 of 34

21 Tiling You can tile up to eight Trellis PCBs on a single 2-wire I2C bus. This allows you to easily build up to 8x16 or 4x32 panels which can be lots of fun! To start with, its a good idea to assemble and test each individually so you know each Trellis works individually. Adafruit Industries Page 21 of 34

22 There's little nubs on the sides of some PCBs that keep them on the assembly panel, you can file them off with any file or sandpaper. Adafruit Industries Page 22 of 34

23 Arrange the tiles up the way you want, we'll start with two. Make sure the Adafruit logo is lined up the same. Solder two blobs of solder on two adjacent finger pads. Adafruit Industries Page 23 of 34

24 Use your soldering iron to drag solder from one pad to another, with a little effort they'll stick together and make a connection. You can add more solder to make the connection stronger. Its still not mechanically strong - so be careful not to bend or shake the arrangement Repeat for the other 4 fingers Adafruit Industries Page 24 of 34

25 Check that the panels are aligned by looking from the side, gently bend/reheat until they are nice and straight Adafruit Industries Page 25 of 34

26 You can add a little more mechanical stability by soldering the large front tabs as well Adafruit Industries Page 26 of 34

27 Repeat for up to 8 panels connected together, in any arrangement you like Addressing Each Trellis tile must have a unique address. You can set the addresses on the back of each panel using a little solder over the address jumpers. The HT16K33 driver chip on the Trellis has a default I2C address of 0x70. Since each device on an I2C bus must have a unique address, its important to avoid collisions or you'll get a lot of strange responses from your electronic devices! Luckily, the HT16K33 has 3 address adjust pins, so that the address can be changed. Each pin changes one binary bit of the address, so you can set the address to any of the following (in hex) 0x70, 0x71, 0x72, 0x73, 0x74, 0x75, 0x76, 0x77 The panels don't have to have consecutive address #'s, they just have to be unique. Adafruit Industries Page 27 of 34

28 ( Addresses You can change the address of very easily. Look on the back to find the three A0, A1 or A2 solder jumpers. Each one of these is used to hardcode in the address. If a jumper is shorted with solder, that sets the address. A0 sets the lowest bit with a value of 1, A1 sets the middle bit with a value of 2 and A2 sets the high bit with a value of 4. The final address is 0x70 + A2 + A1 + A0. So for example if A2 is shorted and A0 is shorted, the address is 0x = 0x75. If only A1 is shorted, the address is 0x = 0x72 For example, this Trellis has A0 shorted, the address is 0x71 This one has A1 shorted, the address is 0x72 Adafruit Industries Page 28 of 34

29 If both A0 and A1 are shorted, the address is 0x73 Adafruit Industries Page 29 of 34

30 If A2, A0 and A1 are shorted, the address is 0x77 Adafruit Industries Page 30 of 34

31 Once you have set the unique addresses, you can set the addresses in the Arduino code, see the software page for details on how to do it. Adafruit Industries Page 31 of 34
